Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser was a science fiction fanzine published by Ron Smith in New York, N. Y., U.S.A. It won the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1956.

Inside was started by Ron Smith in 1953. In late 1954 it was merged with Science Fiction Advertiser (1952-1953, which had begun as Fantasy Advertiser and published from April 1946 to November 1951) and was renamed Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser. It was published under this title for 3 years, during which it won the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine. It then ran a further year as Inside Science Fiction. It ceased publication for 4 years and was then revived for 3 issues as Inside with editor Jon White and Ron Smith as Assistant Editor published in October 1962, June 1963 and Summer 1964. The last issue appeared as the transition between Inside with White as editor and new editor Leland Sapiro, who would rename the zine Riverside Quarterly.

Also included are reprints of work by Anthony Boucher, H. P. Lovecraft (from The National Amateur), and Clark Ashton Smith.

Of note are Lin Carter's study of Lovecraft's "in-text" mythical titles, a study of Lovecraft's "The Old Ones', entitled "H.P. Lovecraft: The Gods", plus a new bibliography; Harlan Ellison's "Hardcover"; William Blackbeard writing on L. Ron Hubbard; and "The Baker Murder Case" by Larry Shaw, writing on Lewis Carroll.
